I just finished (at 3:30 a.m. Monday) this book I picked up a while ago when I was at Barnes and Noble with Addison (our 21 yo U of Ark Sophmore hunk) while he was on one of his few trips home…and words cannot adequately describe the wonder waiting for you in this novel.

One of my goals this year is to read more. I want to finish at least 6 books this year. Regreatably, I’ve gotten out of the habit of reading since I became a talk radio/internet/and Fox News junkie. So, I thought it high time to pick it up again.

Thanks, Addison, for the great recommendation! I found myself flying through the pages not wanting to put it down and finished the last half in the wee hours of Monday morning. (What with there being a full moon and all, sleep was scant anyway!) The story is about a dad who is lost in The Great Sadness and how he is helped to find his way through…that’s all I’m going to reveal, you’ll just have to dig on your own for the rest, and trust me you won’t be sorry you did!

Two other’s I’m working my way through, not quite so expeditiously, are Miracles of the American Revolution: Divine Intervention and the Birth of the Republic , by Larkin Spivey; and Persuasion by Jane Austin. In January I finished John Adams and was delighted when I received the Mini Series by PBS for Christmas. I am hoping to watch it over Spring Break.

I love having you stop by for my blog but don’t let the computer, TV or radio be a substitute for good literature. Blessings!
